last summer i had an office job. i was an intern in the computer department of some company.
i had a desk. i had a switch box. i had a computer.
id build computers for about 3-4 hours a day. easy, really. instal win2k and switch back to my computer and play games. switch back to the other box and instal MSoffice. play games. instal updates. play games. hook it up to the network. play more games.
at other times i just hauled computer stuff around the building. big monitors, other equipment. or id just watch my boss do the SQL server stuff.
then played more games.
$9/hour, 3 days a week. 8 hour day.
goddamn i loved that job.

Last summer I worked in the bush.
$15 hr/ 10 hour days/ 5 or 6 days a week
Did I mention that was night shift? Except for one week of 14 hour days on dayshift.
This summer? I'm starting my commercial lisence training. So that equals little income and more debt.

I make so little money I steal other people's used chewing gum to stick on my shoes so that I can collect all the dropped change on the sidewalk. Ever see a gum-covered nickel? It passed my way.

What's a nickle? Can you use it like a credit card?

Back in the day, people used what is known as "real" money. They had pieces of paper and small metal objects that they attached value to. But those were just avatars for the gold that had the same value as the slips of paper and small piecies of metal. And that gold had value "because it is shinny". Basicly, the entire monitary system is total BS and only functions because we as a people want it to function. I say instead of dollars and cents (pounds and pence for all you Bloody Brits) we should use Goats and Sheep. Could you just see having to get change for a Goat? "That'll be 1/2 a goat in change. Could I borrow your machete?" To make more money, you just feed your money and let it squirt out a few more pieces of money ever year. Now you don't have to work in office buildings anymore!
